Several of our lodges are working farms, many of which can cater to families and allow you to feed the lambs or other animals (depending on the time of year) – a great experience for all the family. One such example would be Long Crendon Manor in Buckinghamshire, a stunning old property where the sheer beauty of the wood-panelled, beamed interior is backed by some lively farm ventures such as rare-breed piglets and cider production. Wildlife fans won’t be disappointed either – from Dolphin and Puffin watching in Pembrokeshire and winter Seal spotting along the Lincolnshire coast to searching for fossils of animals long extinct on the Jurassic Coast, there are some fantastic reasons to choose Wolsey Lodges for your family staycation throughout the year.

With over a third of our luxury lodges within a short drive of the coast you can rest assured that after a day at the beach you’ll be returning to wonderful Bed & Breakfast or self catering.

Whether it be expanses of sandy beach or small, secluded coves the large choice of lodge locations will have something to suit all tastes – from the wonderful Welsh Coast with its famous Coastal Path to the beautiful downs, broads and headlands around the English, Irish & Scottish coastline.

Celtic Quest Coasteering, TYF or Tenby Coasteering – who offer sessions across the county from Porthgain to Tenby. Stay nearby at either Mews Cottage at Elm Grove, Nr Tenby or at Manor Town House in Fishguard.

For those after more flexibility and freedom why not take a look at the Self Catering options available. These properties not only allow you to cater for yourself but it also offers you the option of being in a “bubble” with just your family/friends – and not having to share your accommodation with other guests. Whether you are looking for somewhere remote to enjoy as a group or somewhere central to explore towns, attractions and villages, there are options to suit every taste – all maintained to the same exacting standards you would expect from a Wolsey Lodge. Many have a wide range of family friendly facilities and allow you to follow your own timetable.

These are just a taste of the great experiences you can have with your family when staying in a Wolsey Lodge luxury Bed & Breakfast or Self Catering property around the UK & Ireland.

Jane & Alan Rees-Baynes

Your hosts here are Jane and Alan Rees-Baynes, the third generation to operate Elm Grove Country House in its sixty years as a luxury B&B. The house itself is far older, of course: the foundations were laid in 1840. Cuisine is taken seriously here, with breakfasts of the highest standard: check out the local speciality, 'seaweed scramble'. Dinners are by arrangement and served year-round apart from August: they're always a sensational highlight.
